I'm looking to start getting into Acros now. What are a few good starter frags?
 
What do you have as far as coral now? My LfS has me try out some stylos before getting into acros.

Hammers, acans, torch preepr much lps
 
Go for the OG pieces. Ones that have been in the hobby a long while. They'll usually be more tolerant to small swings in parameters as you start off.

Green slimer is a must have for me and really hardy as far as acropora go.
Red planet
Millepora tend to be hardy as well. Sunset are nice and moderately priced
 
+1 on Red Planet. Probably one of the hardiest and most underrated acros out there. It's one of my favorite pieces in my tank alongside all my high dollar pieces.

Joe the Coral is another hardy acro that looks great
 
Now to just find some haha.
